This guy was not bad either...

I call him Glen "Holy B*lls* Campbell. He was one of the greatest guitar players to ever exist.

Cant argue with that, as a country music picker, he even pushes Cet Atkins in to a long second place for me .But if we take in rock/pop guitarist then I put him lower than Hank Marvin and Chuck Berry, and above Brian May and Jimi Hendrix
 
 
Do you recognise the singer/guitar man?.....No?

Roy Orbison :

While he might have been making goat-roping music, he lived a Rock N Roll lifestyle - with the usual penalties/probable outcomes. At more than one point in his life, he was reduced to playing county fairs to fuel his addictions.

But, he was a consummate performer. Even when he did his county fairs he put on a great show. Sure, it was a coke-fueled adventure, balanced by a crippling alcohol addiction, but he still put on a show.

I'd posit that being a professional musician comes with a work-related hazard of addiction to any number of illegal substances. Much like a shoe maker is going to get carpel tunnel, a professional musician is going to end up addicted to some substance(s). It's just that common.

As someone who has been a professional musician, let's just say that I can relate. It's an easy world to slip into if you're not careful. (For several periods of my life, I made my living with my musicianship. In other periods, music supplemented my income. Then, for some other periods of my life, I just kept performing because it was a habit in and of itself.)

It's a long story which I'm willing to share parts of but you can make the usual assumptions and be accurate enough, negating my need to type out a novella. Let's just say that I've had some experiences many people wouldn't have had, some good and some not so good. I have no shame in sharing those stories, but it's a whole lot to type...
 
i think its "The lifestyle"

From a guitarist's perspective, there's nothing challenging. If you're willing to practice for one hour per day, you can play that song within a month of picking up the guitar.

We call those 'cowboy chords' and it's almost derisive even though a zillion songs are built on that same framework of chords.

They truly are the framework for a lot of songs, including a ton of rock songs. You can learn 5 chords and cover a ton of stuff. If you learn the Pentatonic Minor scale you can even fake a ton of lead guitar parts.
